Better supplier management can yield tremendous bottom-line results. Here's how one global leader does it. Managing suppliers can contribute enormous savings to a company's bottom line, and few companies have done it better than Nokia. In Profit-Focused Supplier Management, Pirkko Ostring details for the first time the supplier management program that has helped make Nokia the world leader in mobile communications. Drawing from her experience at Nokia, Ostring reveals how to understand and maximize relationships with suppliers to help any company minimize risk and improve profitability in any industry. Profit-Focused Supplier Management will motivate top management to uncover more information about their suppliers, enable purchasing managers to select better suppliers, and give business controllers a tool for limiting risks and improving their companies' financial standing. Profit-Focused Supplier Management is the first book written to address suppliers as ongoing business management opportunities. The book uses factual examples from companies including Intel and Marconi that provide an easy and interesting way to adopt the theoretical frameworks into practical formats. Additionally, fictional cases, based on the author's findings, illustrate the importance of in-depth analyses.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book is written clearly and it's interesting without the trivial chatter found in so many business books." -- Talouselama ( Finland's leading weekly business magazine)
Review
Talouselama (Finland's leading weekly business magazine): "The book is written clearly and it's interesting without the trivial chatter found in so many business books. The example cases are written in story format and are good insight into how difficult it is to apply clear doctrines in practice: there is no one right answer, rather, all the decisions are case-specific."
